My religious upbringing taught me to love God. Yet, my first knowledge that God cured sickness as well as sin was through my fiancé, a Christian Scientist. The idea that prayer, not medication, healed physical ills seemed strange to me.
I attended a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, several times with my fiancé. The services left me feeling satisfied, so I continued attending this church. I could not define the reason for this satisfaction then, but I know now it was the still, small voice of Truth attracting me.
Early in our marriage I injured my leg. My husband suggested I read for a while from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I did it to please him. Within half an hour the leg was fine! This was surprising to me.
